Spot Trading Gone Wrong So this article is written on the same day I wrote my previous article: **I Spent My Last Fiat To Buy BCH Instead Of Paying My Bill**. https://read.cash/@bmjc98/i-spent-my-last-fiat-to-buy-bch-instead-of-paying-my-bill-00a054d1 As mentioned in my previous article, I sent my BCH from Bitcoin.com to Binance to do Spot Trading. I did, and it was successful. However, my brain was messing up at that time that instead of holding my BCH for a while and gain profit, I set a sell order at $415.

And before I could even cancel it, my sell order was already filled. I don't know what I was thinking. I was probably thinking of another dip I guess. So when the order was filled, I had to rush and set the buy order at $413, hoping to see a dump, but it didn't happen. It went up to $422 and made a little comeback at $417, but that was just it! After that, it continued to go upward and my hopes and dreams were shattered. I was really disappointed by my negligence. Until I realized that it wasn't the end of the world yet. I mean I could still save my USDT and use it for something else. I realized that if I couldn't use it to buy BCH, then I'd make use of it and buy another coin instead. So I canceled my buy order and looked for BNB this time. Why BNB?

I chose BNB simply because it's also a great coin to invest in. I've also got a tiny bit of BNB and has been on the vault for quite some time now so adding more would be a good decision. With BNB, I could also earn extra coins without investing them. As of now, I have ***ALICE, ATA,*** and ***TLM***. It's not much coz I'm only holding a tiny bit of BNB but hopefully, I could also have more in the future. So with my recent epic failed moment in Spot Trading, I made sure to get it right this time and BNB was a great choice. It was but the buy order was never filled. For the second time, I had no choice but to get something cheaper. Settled in ADA

I had to cancel my order again and looked for another alternative. I looked for LTC, XRP but chose ADA over the others. I bought ADA at 1.15 for $39.6405 and the order was filled in probably less than an hour. *Closing thoughts* Honestly, I was so upset about not being able to HODL my BCH. I intended to spend my last fiat just to accumulate more BCH, but it didn't go to where it was supposed to be spent. I blamed it for being so excited to do Spot Trading that I messed up all of a sudden. This action is the worst ever! Although I was able to buy ADA, my investment would have been great in BCH. To think I initially bought it at $396. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now except to accept the fact that I made a huge, huge mistake. There's nothing I can do now since the damage has already been done. Opportunity happens once, and I've missed it because of my negligence. Nevertheless, it's not too late to invest again. ***As per Gabriel said, we may not be able to buy at the cheapest but anything under $1,000 is still a great investment.*** Not the exact words but the thought is there. This means that I should forgive myself now and make another transaction soon or later.
